Instagram Camera?

As we all know (OK, some knew...), Instagram had been bought over by Facebook for a whopping $1 billion dollars! That's a lot of money! If I were the founder, I would be laughing my teeth off! After that, I'll be thinking how to spend my money! Perhaps I'll take a year's break and go on a round the world tour! After which, I'll probably find a place to migrate, buy a house and a car and find a new job (or find a new idea!). OK, I digress... Hahaha~

Digital Street Photography

I've gone around to shoot using the Sony Nex-5N and the Leica Summitar which I have shown some test shots in my previous post. Here are some street shots from me using this combo!

The Stare. This is my favourite from the series! The intensity of the stare was captured at the decisive moment! 

NEX5N and Leica Summitar

Recently acquired a second hand Sony Nex-5N, so decided to do some test shots using a Leica Summitar 50mm F2 Collapsible. Heard that this lens is very sharp even wide open at F2, so decided to test it out. Also not forgetting that this lens give a wild swirly bokeh, so makes me drool even more!
